Severe thunderstorms pelted parts of south-east Queensland on Friday afternoon and evening, with large hail recorded in the Western and Darling Downs.
In Brisbane, residents were warned of large hail and to move vehicles under cover where possible.
The Bureau of Meteorology had detected storms near Beaudesert, Caboolture, the area south of Biggenden, Narangba, the area south-west of Gympie, Peachester, Mount Beerwah and the ranges between Gympie and Murgon.
"These thunderstorms are moving towards the east to south-east," the Bureau said in a statement.
"Damaging winds, large hailstones and heavy rainfall that may lead to flash flooding are likely."
The storms affected Maroochydore, Coolangatta, Strathpine, Redcliffe, Caloundra and Gympie at about 7:00pm and Cleveland, Noosa Heads and the area northwest of Gympie at about 7:30pm..
By 8:30pm the band of storms had moved past the coastline and BOM cancelled its storm warning, but Energex was reporting over 13,000 homes without power in south-east Queensland.
"The immediate threat of severe thunderstorms has passed, but the situation will continue to be monitored and further warnings will be issued if necessary," BOM reported.
